Abstract: This paper presents a model to describe the behavior of sloshing in a general tank with a uniform fluid depth. An equivalent linearized mechanical model is developed for a tuned liquid damper ...

Abstract: In traditional tuned liquid damper (TLD) installations, TLD tank(s) are tuned to a single optimal frequency as determined by well-known dynamic vibration absorber theory. A multiple tuned liquid damper (MTLD) is created ...

Abstract: It is becoming increasingly common to employ tuned sloshing damper (TSD) systems to reduce the wind-induced motion of tall buildings due to their affordability and apparent simplicity. However, TSD systems are relatively ...

Abstract: It has been challenging to predict the peak spatial accelerations of tall buildings experiencing wind-induced motion. Frequency domain solution techniques using modal analysis are typically employed for wind tunnel studies, ...

Abstract: An efficient multiple tuned sloshing damper (MTSD) system is installed in a tall building in Toronto, Canada. The building is monitored before and after water is added to the tanks to measure wind-induced building motion, ...
